Island Booths
Definition: Spaces 400 square feet or larger with aisles on all four sides
Height: The maximum height allowed is 12 feet.
Intent: When an island booth exceeds 8 feet it does not interfere with other exhibitors because it obviously does not back up against another exhibitor's back wall. The extra height is often required in an island booth exhibit to permit an open walk-through approach normally used in this type of location. The 12ft. maximum height limitation has been set to avoid undue competition between exhibitors to see who can go the highest or be seen the farthest, with each negating the other's efforts.
Definition: One or more standard units in a straight line with only an aisle on one side.
Height: All display material will be confined to a maximum height of 8 feet.
Depth: All display fixtures over 4 feet in height and placed within 10 linear feet of an adjoining exhibit must be confined to that area of the exhibitor's space which is within 5 feet of the backline.
Intent: Each exhibitor is entitled to a reasonable sighting from the aisle regardless of the size of his/her exhibit. Exhibitors with larger space (30 linear feet or more) should also be able to effectively use as much of the total floor space as possible as long as they do not interfere with the rights of others. The limitation on display fixtures over 4 feet and within 10 linear feet of a neighboring exhibit is intended to accomplish both of these aims.

Exhibitors who are too loud or create too much disruption will be asked to maintain a normal sound level so their neighbors may be able to hold conversations.

- Exhibitors wishing to require delegates to visit various stations within their booth must keep the time to less than 10 minutes. Delegates want to visit all the booths in the hall. Please respect their time.

Please be aware of fire regulations regarding show aisles. Photographers are not allowed to block aisles with tripods or electrical cables during show hours, as this is a safety hazard.
